Matthew, Mark, and Luke take up the quintessential language of suffering from Israel’s Scriptures, namely lament. Their engagement with lament overlaps and diverges from one another based upon their specific biographical aims. What emerges from this engagement is a diverse biographical portrait in which Jesus both responds to the cries of the afflicted as Israel’s God did and shares in their cries as righteous sufferers from Israel’s past did. The explanatory climax of this phenomenon arises in the respective passion narratives where Jesus’s ability to answer and utter lament finally converge in the same literary setting. The implications of this dynamic are far reaching as it provides yet another consideration for ongoing research on early Christology. The lament language embedded in the Synoptic Gospels and reflected in subsequent early Christian writings points to a belief among some Christ followers that Jesus answered their cries and participated in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Lament and Early Christology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Lament in Israel’s Scriptures \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Laments to Jesus and by Jesus in Mark \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Laments to Jesus and by Jesus in Matthew\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Laments to Jesus and by Jesus in Luke \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Six: The Significance of Lament in Synoptic Christology and Beyond \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042009022807,"sku":"9781666912708","price":82.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666912708.jpg?v=1750952602","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-synoptic-christology-of-lament-the-lord-who-answered-and-the-lord-who-cried-9781666912708","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
